Lovestruck
"Mou.... Do we have to move, Otousan?" A beautiful 13-year-old girl asked her father. She had long golden-brown hair and bright emerald green eyes that sparkled everytime she was happy. She was the most popular girl in school, although she was too dense to see for herself. Or at least her friends thought she was. She knew about it, but never acknowledged it because she didn't like any of them back and didn't want to break their heart.
"Yes Sakura. I have business to attend to there. It's not that bad." Her father answered her. He was tall with purple hair and dark greyish blue eyes that were always happy.
"Behave yourself, kajuii!" said Sakura's tall dark-haired, 19-year-old brother who messed her hair a bit. Sakura awarded him with a stomp on his foot. "Oww!" he yelled out.
Sakura smiled satisfyingly. "So, onichan, take care of Yukito, ne?" she said.
At the sound of his lover and best friend's name, Touya blushed. "H-hai..."
The doorbell rang and Touya ran to open the door. Large, muscular men walked in and started to carry the boxes and bags out of the house to the Kinomoto's private plane.
Reporters and fans gathered at the door.
"Oh my..." Sakura said, seeing the many guys that used to stalk her home.
"Sakura!" A hand waved. Sakura could see a purple-haired head bobbing up and down, trying to squeeze through the crowd to the door. "Sakura-chan!"
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura cried, hugging her best friend. Tears were forming in both their eyes and Kero flew around anxiously.
"Come back to visit, ne?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura and Kero nodded. "Hai."
"You should go now." Touya said from behind. "The men are done loading the plane." Touya stopped and handed Kero a cookie. "Look after the kajuii for me, Kero." Kero nodded and munched on the cookie.
"Bye Sakura." Sakura hugged her brother. Sakura could see his eyes getting all misty. She laughed. "Bye, onichan." Then she hugged Tomoyo. "Good-bye." She, her father and Kero piled onto the plane and it flew off.
"Bye!" Everyone looked up to see the form of a girl waving from one window. Cries of "Good bye!" "Good luck!", etc. were heard from the crowd as they watched their friends, idols, sister and father (in Touya's case) leave Japan.
* * * * * * * * * *
"Sakura! We're here!" A voice broke into her thoughts. She blinked twice and looked through the windows. "Wow..." the sight was breaktaking. "Where's our house?" She asked, looking around.
Fujitaka pointed to the biggest house on the street. It was red-bricked and just like an old castle. It was so beautiful. A huge, silver gate stood in front of the house, and beautiful cherry trees grew beside the driveway. Sakura could tell that they were imported from Japan, because it was rare to see one cherry blossom tree, let alone dozens.
Beside the gate, stood two large chinese lions, standing fierce and proud, as if they were real.
"Otousan......it's beautiful!" She ran up to the gate and opened it. She rushed around, inspecting everything then turned back to her father.
She smiled. "It's perfect!"
Their butler, Wang, opened the door for them and motioned them in. Everything was just as beautiful as the outside. At the doorway, stood a large staircase with a red carpet, just like for royalty.
By lunchtime, Sakura and her father had picked a room and finished packing. It didn't take long to arrange everything just like their last home, because of the sakura cards. It was okay for Sakura to use them, because Wang had been with them for 10 years already and knew about them. He has also helped Sakura catch the cards and turn them into her own.
She smiled at the cards. 'Thank you.' She said, graciously. All her training had enabled her to telepatically be able to talk and call her cards. 'You're welcome, Mistress Sakura.' The cards told her in her mind. Sakura thought she saw a flash of a smile on each card, but it disappeared as soon as it happened.
* * * * * * * * * *
'Something's here.....' A brown-haired boy about the age of 12 thought to himself. He had been sensing glimpses of strong powers coming since this morning. 'I wonder what it is....' He asked, probing into the night.
* * * * * * * * * *
"There are a lot of strong powers here..." Sakura said to her father during dinner. "I could swear that I felt something or someone probing my aura. The cards felt it too..." She said, placing a piece of chicken in her mouth and chewing on it slowly.
Fujitaka nodded. "I felt it too..." He said happily. "Eat your vegetables, Sakura."
Sakura nodded while eating a carrot. "Do you think they're evil?" She asked her father and her guardian.
"No problem, Sakura!" Kero said, while stuffing his face. "We're more then powerful enough to face and defeat them if they ever tried.
Sakura smiled. "Ya. You're right. No use asking about it now."
Fujitaka smiled at the two. "Eat up and will go for a ride to see the town. I heard that it was very nice in the night."
Kero and Sakura both dug into their plates fast. "Ok!"
* * * * * * * * * *
A few years later....
(Sakura and group are 16)
"Sakura! Come eat your breakfast!" Her father called from the kitchen. Although they were rich enough to have a chef, her father said he enjoyed cooking too much to not do it again. "School starts soon! You wouldn't want to be late would you?" He waved the toast out of the toaster and spread butter on it. Then giving one to Kero, he placed the other one on a plate.
Throwing a pair of white khakis and a blue tank top one, Sakura ran around her room, gathering some books. "OK!" She called as she grabbed her white windbreaker. Today was her first day of school. She had been home-schooled for a few years now and her father had finally let her attend the local high school in Hong Kong.
She ran into the kitchen and stuffing a piece of toast in her mouth, she snapped her rollarblades on and said bye to Kero, Wang and her father.
A sleek, black BMW followed her as she rollarbladed on her way to the giant high school.
As she came to a corner, she bumped into someone and they both fell to the ground."Watch it!" The person said.
Sakura looked up into deep brown eyes. 'They're beautiful.' She thought. 'He has an aura...' She thought next.
Four people dressed in black piled out of the black BMW. "Miss Sakura, are you alright?" One of the ladies asked. She held out her hand to Sakura on the ground.
"I'm fine, Soni." Sakura took her hand and the other three female bodyguards helped her up. One of them brushed the dust off of Sakura's clothes.
"I'm sorry." Sakura held her hand out for the other person. Although suspicious, he took the hand and Sakura helped him up. She showed no signs of tiredness from the weigh of his muscles. 'She's strong....and beautiful...' he thought. Then he sensed some kind of flicker in her aura. 'What was that?'
"I'm Sakura Kinomoto. What's your name?" She asked, smiling slightly. Her father had helped her with a translation spell, so she had no trouble understanding and talking in chinese.
"I'm Syaoran Li." He told her. He was wearing a pair of black cargo jeans and a green t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off his tan and his muscles.
"Nice to meet you, Syaoran Li." She looked at her watch. "Oh no! Ja ne!" She said. "I'm going to be late!" She yelled in her head as she rollarbladed with top speed towards the giant building. "Hoe, it's huge!" Sakura commended under her breath.
The guy, Syaoran watched as Sakura ran in the school. He had to admit that she was beautiful. Her emerald eyes sparkled brightly and her smile would melt any guy inside. Including him. But the first thing that she noticed, was not her beauty, but her powerful, yet unmistaking aura.
* * * * * * * * * *
At the end of the hall, Sakura stopped and smoothed her pants and top. Then she pulled the door to the main office open and walked in, her bodyguards following her in every step.
She smiled at the lady at the desk who was watching as if shocked. Her mouth was open and her eyes huge. Then, as if remembering something, she snapped back to reality. "May I help you?"
"Yes." Sakura said. "I'm Sakura Kinomoto. I was wondering if I could transfer to this school."
The lady typed in her name and asked many questions. "Ok. Kinomoto.....Ah! I see. Right here...." She was looking for the timetable. "You're from Japan and you speak chinese? How nice." The lady commented, smiling. A piece of paper came out of the printer. "Here's your schedule." She handed it to Sakura and instead Miko, one of her bodyguards took it.
"Go to room 205 and tell Yu-lo-si that you are new." She gave Sakura directions to the room.
"Ari-...I mean, Xie xie." Sakura said, smiling. She waved goodbye at the secretary.
'She must be very rish to have 4 bodyguards...' The lady thought. 'Kinomoto...now where have I heard of that name?'
* * * * * * * * * *
Sakura walked down the hallway full of students and teachers. All the guys there turned their heads to catch a glance of her and the girls scowled at her, jealous.
One guy in particular stared at Sakura, awed by her beauty. Then he stopped staring as a ruby-eyed girl caught up to him. She looked at Sakura as well. 'Hmm.....'
All the staring didn't faze Sakura one bit. She was used to this kind of stuff from Japan and she knew that it wouldn't be different in Hong Kong.
Sakura and her bodyguards walked down the hallway leading to room 205. At last she found it and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" A voice said from inside.
Furi opened the door and the 5 women stepped in.
"Hi. I'm new." Sakura told the teacher.
The teacher, was a tall, average weigh, chinese man. He was about 35 years in age and had black hair and dark brown eyes. He looked at the 5 people who walked in. "All of you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Four of the women looked at bit old to be 16.
"No. Just me." Sakura laughed.
"Then why are they here?" Yu-lo-si asked, pointing to the women in black.
"They're my bodyguards." Sakura replied. She would remember this when she got home. Her father had been strict about her being safe. She had a fague idea that he was convinced by a certain dark-haired brother of hers. He father knew that she was capable of fighting her own battles and keeping herself safe. But she kept them along just so that her family wouldn't worry.
"Ahh...the famous Kinomoto..." Yu-lo-si said. He knew who she was. The daughter. She was talked about by many of the students. The males in particular.
Sakura nodded. "Yes. He's my father."
Yu-lo-si extended his hand to her. "Welcome to my class." He told her to wait until the bell rang so that he could introduce her to the class. Would the class ever be surprised. They had a celebrity in their class.
They didn't have to wait long for the bell to ring. The doors puished open and Sakura found herself watching all the students pile in. Her bodyguards formed a square around her to keep her safe from any crazed fans. Fortunately, nobody recognized her, or they havn't seen her for they were busy chatting.
"Everyone! Listen up!" Yu-lo-si told his students. All of them sat at their desks quietly and turned their heads so they faced the teacher.
"Who is that?" "A new student?" Sakura heard comments about her but ignored them and waited for the teacher to continue.
Yu-lo-si pointed to Sakura. "This is Sakura Kinomoto. She is a transfer student from Japan." Sakura smiled.
A few whispers started in the class. "Kinomoto?" "They're the richest family in the world!" "She's pretty..." Lucky for her, she was used to it and continued smiling at the class.
A hand raised from the 3 row of desks.
"Yes Chung?" The teacher asked.
"Who are they?" A chinese guy stood up and asked. He was dressed in a big orange sweatshirt and a pair of giant baggy black jeans. He also had bright reddish brown hair.
Sakura blushed a bit. "Thy're...my bodygurads..." She introduced them. "This is Soni, Furi, Miko and Kara." The four women bowed to the class while Sakura introduced them. Soni took out a pink and blue cellphone and gave it to Sakura, which she pocketed and Miko gave Sakura's bag to her.
Kara whispered quietly into Sakura's ear. "We'll pick you up at 5pm, miss Sakura, okay?" Sakura nodded and they walked out the door and disappeared. Only Sakura saw that though. She knew that they used magic to get to the car. Her bodyguards knew about her magic, and they had some of their own. It was a requirement that her father had put in the advertisments for their bodyguards.
Sayoran looked up. He had felt to powerful aura in the room when he first walked in. The it flicjkered and he lost it again. He glared at the girl at the blackboard, then gasped under his breath. It was that girl! The one he bumped into this morning. She was in his class. 'Hmm...' He thought. 'I think she might have something to do with that aura....' It had a very familiar sense to it. He had felt it before, but where?
"Wow....man...you know, about the Kinomoto family..." Kyle started to say to his best friend, Syaoran, but Fay, his girlfrind pulled onto his arm. "Quiet, Ky. Syaoran doesn't want to hear about your stories."
In reality, Syaoran did want to hear about the stories. He was very interested in this girl. He could sense that all the guys were staring at the brown-haired and green-eyed beauty as well. At once he grew jealous.
Yu-lo-si looked around the class. The only empty seat in the class was the one in front of Syaoran Li. The girl that sat there before had complained at Syaoran constantly bugged her. He was always staring with his cold brown-eyes. They only people he hung around with was his cousin's friends, who apparently knew another side to him. 'I hope they get along...' He thought. He didn't want to place Sakura there, but there might be a chance that maybe, just maybe, she might bring the good in him out.
"Sakura, you may sit there in front of Syaoran Li. Syaoran, stand please." He asked.
Sure enough, when Sakura turned her head, the guy that she had bumped into this morning stood up. Her own green eyes met a pair of brown eyes. 'It's him!' She thought. She smiled at him.
"There is an emergency, I'll be back at the end of the period. Have a silent reading class." Yu-lo-si said and walked out the door.
Sakura walked through the desks to the desk in front of Syaoran.
One girl blocked her way. Sakura looked at the girl. She had long black hair that was braided into pigtails and piercing ruby-red eyes.
